Los Cebollines

 "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." 1 John 4:11

 

In celebration of valentines day, Pres. Lopez took us to Los Cebollines, a Mexican restaurant. Left side of table,(picture on left) Lopezs, Petersens, Thompsons at end, up right side, Justices,from Guatemala and us.

 

 

 It was a fun restaurant. We took turns wearing the sombero.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 They had live music. The beautiful girl standing behind Frank sang songs for an hour.  Then at 9:00 the mariache band played songs for an hour. We had a good evening together. 

 



Cojutepeque

"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work.  And out of small things proceedeth that which is great." D&C 64:33

 

 Today Pres. Lopez drove us to the town of Cojutepeque.  He lived there during his youth.  We took the back roads to get there then came home on the main highway.  Got some good pictures of life in El Salvador.  They use the wood to cook their meals.

 We stopped for Pres. Petersen to look at this garden.  Frank was to protect him each time he got out of the car. So here he is directing no traffic.  This is how a lot of people get around town, their bus.

 

 We passed this cart and team, Pres. Petersen got out and talked to him.  The mans name is Garcia and he called one of his cows  deer.

 

 

 

 

We stopped for lunch at the restaurant Buena Vista. The Thompsons, Pres. Petersen and Frank.  This fun little waterfall was on the grounds and many pretty flowers.

 

We had lunch on the balcony.  This is looking at Lake Ilopongo from the balcony.  The whole drive up to Cojutepeque we could see the lake.  It is a big lake.  After lunch, Pres. Lopez took us to the park of Virgen de Fatima. This is the shrine where people come and pray to her.  Pres. Petersen is standing in the picuture.





Guest for Dinner

"Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever." Alma 26:8

 I fixed cornflake chicken breast.  I felt I should fix more chicken breast and not just 6. Pres. Petersen had the impression coming out of church to invite Sister Diaz to dinner. She comes to the temple as a patron from 8:00am to 4:00pm each Tues. Wed. and Thurs. Good comes from following the prompting of the spirit.  I am glad she was able to join us.
